Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallet has reportedly returned to work after being rushed to hospital when she passed out on set.

Filming had to be rescheduled while the 24-year-old starlet, who plays sexy Jo Stiles, spent two days having tests, reports the Daily Star.

Roxanne insisted she had just “fainted”, but friends close to the star apparently fear she is stressed after the break-up of her two-year relationship to former Coronation Street star Richard Fleeshman.

Roxanne and Richard, 18, met on the TV talent show Soapstar Superstar, but they apparently ended their relationship when Richard started concentrating on launching a music career.

A friend told the paper: “They were such a great couple. But Richard is really driven and is spending all his time on his music.

“She’s putting on a brave face and trying to say it has not affected her but any break-up is bound to leave you super-stressed.”
